The dog days have just come out, and the autumn tiger is fierce.

In the afternoon, it is exposed to high temperatures, but in the evening, it suddenly becomes cooler.

The women are fine at home, but the men are doing farm work outside, and when they put on and take off their clothes, the sweat on their bodies is like rain, and they have to change several sets a day.

Adults remember that they had to dress when it was cold and undress when it was hot. Children are greedy for cold, so they don't like to wear a lot, and it is easy to get sick because of the alternating cold and hot weather.

Niu Tianzhu, the only grandson of the cattle steward, is three years old this year, and he was born with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, and he is lively and active.

Two days ago, I slept and kicked the quilt and caught a cold, and the person suddenly became a small candle heart that was extinguished by water, and the whole person fell away.

The snot hangs sloppily on the mouth, like two sticky little water dragons, and they can't wipe it inexhaustibly. Lying on the body of his mother's second daughter-in-law all day long, compared with the original lively and active, he has no spirit at all.

The second daughter-in-law was in a hurry every day, and her mouth had several blisters, which hurt hotly.

She also paid the only doctor in the village to invite her, and she also treated the child and prescribed medicine, but the medicine was boiled, but the child smelled the bitterness of the medicine and didn't eat it.

After pouring it hard, he spit it all out, tossed it, cried and made trouble, and finally didn't drink a sip of the medicine, and cried hoarse.

The second daughter-in-law was so distressed that she burst into tears, and she couldn't be ruthless enough to give him medicine.

This dragged on, and the child was sick for several days.

The cow steward only has such an only child as Erzhu, and Erzhuo has been married for three years and only has Tianzhu such a baby pimple. Xiao Tianzhu's gold in the Niu family can naturally be imagined.

Seeing that the child is sick and uncomfortable like this, the second bolt daughter-in-law, who is a mother, is about to go crazy, and even the grandmother of the cattle steward can't feel at ease.

Zhuangzi came up to the host's young lady to entertain her, and it is said that she should come to the door every day to greet her. But she remembered the sick eldest grandson at home, so she couldn't muster up the energy to worry about the seventh lady in the village.

……

When Tong Jiayan walked by, he happened to hear the cries floating out of the cow steward's house.

She stopped and looked into the open courtyard door.

The view of the farmhouse courtyard fell in front of her at a glance.

The main road paved with stones of different sizes leads to the main house, and the ground on the left has been carved out into a few acres of small vegetable fields, which are planted with many seasonal vegetables. On the right, against the wall, there is a chicken pen circled, but there are not a few chickens in sight.

Seeing her stop, Lu Wu's eyes fell on the small courtyard of this farmhouse, which was already considered a well-off family, so he took the initiative to introduce it to Tong Jiayan: "This is the cow steward's house." ”

Tong Jiayan has slept in a mess these days, and has been drifting between the past and reality, so he is not very clear about the affairs of the cow steward.

"Has anything happened to his family lately? How do I hear as if someone is crying inside? ”

It's not like, it's true.

Lu Wu also glanced at the yard: "It seems that the grandson of the cow steward is sick and has not recovered." "Actually, she doesn't know very well," the cow steward has always been restless these days, and once broke a blue and white porcelain bowl we brought with him, and the slave seemed to have mentioned such a sentence when she heard her accuse. ”

That's right......

The idea of going on and walking was broken.

"Since we've all passed by the door, let's go in and say hello." After Tong Jiayan finished speaking, he took the first step and walked towards the Niu family's compound.

……

"Mother, what should I do? Seeing that Tianzhu has been uncomfortable like this, I, my heart is so uncomfortable. ”

The second daughter-in-law sat on the edge of the bed with her son in her arms, Xiao Tianzhu looked at her with her dry mouth slightly open, and when she saw that there was water dripping from her eyes, he tried to reach her face.

The second daughter-in-law bit her lip, leaned her face over, and gently touched his little face, which had obviously lost weight, and the tears of distress fell straight down.

"Alas, looking at the child like this and having no energy, his father, his father, and me, which one is not uncomfortable? I can't even wait to suffer this sin for my good grandson! The cow steward's face was also sad, "I said that you should continue to pour medicine and drink him, you have to say that you are reluctant, this person is sick, how can he get better if he doesn't take medicine?" ”

"I also see that he vomits as soon as he eats, and he really can't do it!" The second daughter-in-law also felt aggrieved, and cried one after another, "Look at the pitiful way he cried, his throat was howling, and he didn't swallow a few mouthfuls of medicine, what should I do if I cry again?" ”

"Throat throat, throat, people are gone, what's the use of having a voice!" The cow steward's anger was not in one place, "If you can't stand it, go out and feed the chickens!" I'll feed the medicine instead! Even if the child vomits and makes trouble, he should swallow a drop or two! ”

As he spoke, he snatched the child from the second daughter-in-law and hugged it himself.

A sudden knock on the door sounded at this moment, followed by a gentle and nice female voice.

"Is anyone home?"

The cow steward was stunned, and the second bolt daughter-in-law who was protecting the child glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Who's coming?

"I'll go out and take a look, you take the child to rest in the house, don't come out."

After the cow steward withdrew his hand, he walked out, never expecting that the person who came would be Miss Seventh Tong Jiayan.

"Miss Seven?" I could see that the surprise on her face was very direct, "Why are you here?" ”

Tong Jiayan said with a smile: "Just walk around, I didn't know that I would come here, I don't want it to be your home." ”

Since everyone had already come in, it was not easy for the cattle steward to drive people out, so he opened his hand and beckoned: "Then come in, come in." ”

Unintentionally glancing at the vegetable patch and chicken pen in the yard, the cow steward rubbed his hands very embarrassed and said, "The slave maid's house is simple, and Miss Qu will sit in the house for a while, and the slave will go to make tea for you and the two girls." So saying, he led the people into the door, and was about to go to the kitchen.

Tong Jiayan thanked him: "Then there is a sister-in-law of Lao Niu." ”

"It should be, it should be." The cow steward retreated in trepidation.

Tong Jiayan and the others entered the hall, and there was a table of eight immortals in front of them, with a long bench on each side. There is a copper teapot on the table, and there are four copper teacups, looking at the appearance, it should be some years old.

Tong Jiayan was just about to sit down on one of the benches, but Lu Wu hurriedly called her: "Wait, the slave maid will wipe it first." As he spoke, he hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped it several times on the bench.

Tong Jiayan smiled at her and sat down.

The cow steward's house quickly brought three bowls of freshly brewed tea.

"The slave maid doesn't have a teacup at home, so I have to grieve Miss Seven and the two girls to drink tea from a bowl." After saying this, he hurriedly promised, "Miss Seven, don't worry, I have washed and scalded these bowls with boiling hot water, and they are absolutely clean!" ”

"Thank you, I'm really sorry for your trouble." Tong Jiayan picked up the bowl and drank tea from a kind stream, he didn't mind at all, he raised his head after taking a sip, and smiled lightly at the cow steward, "It's delicious." ”

Qingju and Luwu also picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and smiled in agreement.

Seeing this, the cattle steward laughed, and his speech was much more relaxed: "It's just a coarse tea fried by home, so it's good that Miss Seven doesn't dislike it." ”

Tong Jiayan casually glanced around the house while drinking tea: "Are you home alone?" ”
